As architects Mark Hemel and Barbara Kuit mentioned, they wanted to design a free- form, non symmetrical tower, as if it's "in a movement". As a result the architects created "Sexy Female" that acquired "Super Model" nickname.

The bearing structure of the tower is its steel latticed outer shell, supported by the system of "rings" from the inside. The upper viewing platform is located at an altitude of 450 m.The ticket price varies between $7, $ 14 and $22, depending on the different heights. Guangzhou Tower will be equipped with four high speed elevators with the speed of 10 meters per second. The top level fire safety system is being installed in the tower; it will have two large water tanks located on the 84th floor with the capacity of 1,200 tons.
